With no immediate family to live for, Joseph is haunted by a past he has tried, for decades, to forget - if not actively obscure with drink and drugs. Suffering the hangover from hell - the dry spell over - he walks away from his present life and boards a boat bound for Ireland to confront hazy, fear-inducing memories from a childhood spent in the care system that he's had to forget. Emotionally and physically wrecked, Joseph reunites with an incredulous Anna (Helen Behan, This is England '88 and '90), the sister he hasn't seen since childhood. Anna persuades her wary husband Michael (Frank Laverty; Michael Collins) to let Joseph stay and give him work in the family-owned building company. There, Joseph is forced to directly confront the demons of his past when he comes face to face with Craigy (Mark O'Halloran), a shadowy figure who is dogged by dark rumours, and who won't leave Joseph alone. Joseph's precarious family reunion is further complicated when he is immediately drawn to Michael's fiery sister Dinah (Niamh Algar; The Bisexual, Pure). Angry and lost, Dinah is fiercely guarded, and, like Joseph, haunted by a deeply-held secret. The Virtues is a visceral and hauntingly unforgettable paean to the human spirit, shot through with bittersweet tenderness, compassion and unexpected moments of laugh-out-loud humour throughout. Deftly addressing challenging themes of revenge, redemption and repressed memory, Meadows and co-writer, BAFTA-winning Jack Thorne, ask questions of what it really means to be, and have, family.

Very hard to watch but Graham is excellent!

Emotionally draining but the acting was fabulous in this! The early scene between him and son was stunning and honest. Other reviews have criticised the plot but having only seen one episode, I found it perfectly fine. Can't wait for the rest!

What can you say but........ ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!

It's as if you're watching people in their everyday life, not scripted or rehearsed, just raw, gritty, tough life! Shane Meadows has again bought us something that is emotionally engaging, brutally honest and superbly acted.... Stephen Graham especially. Tears, laughter and sheer terror course through every episode of this quite remarkable and thought provoking series. From hiding behind a cushion to wiping a slightly moist eye, I couldn't stop watching. A complete must see! Be warned though, there are tough and very difficult scenes, which are totally intrinsic to the whole riveting story. Please watch this if you can.

Stephen Graham is truly brilliant

I had to watch this series, because Stephen Graham is great to watch. He bought this drama to life presenting such a humble character. It almost felt like watching a documentary in parts and Stephen really made you feel desperately sad for his character, Joseph and even embarrassed for him at times by his behaviour. This drama felt so real and I truly think that is down to a good story line and a first class actor who had given lots of thought how to bring the story to life. Marvellous

Wow

Give Stephen Graham the BAFTA now, what an amazing actor and a powerful series this was. All actors in The Virtues were outstanding but Stephen... just wow

Stephen Graham acting giant!

Stephen Graham, give that man an award. Some people are born to act and Stephen is one of them. I am an avid fan of his and have seen most of his work and I can honestly say this is his best yet. Shane Meadows, excellent storytelling as always. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry and it will make you feel unbelievably numb at times. Graham plays the role of an extremely troubled alcoholic in search of answers and he plays it to perfection. The lives of some very dejected and disillusioned people intertwine and lead to a tumultuous emotional rollercoaster. A must watch! Be prepared to be affected by this long after it has finished.
